US has historically low unemployment past several years so idk who you think they are taking jobs away from but most let go are almost immediately re-hired elsewhere. With little to no slack in the local unemployment pool it only makes sen

There are stats you can find if you look for it. Something like 5-10% was made up of actual engineers. Large majority was sales, marketing, HR, product and design, recruiting, and finance. I've only seen stats for Google but assume

You don't understand what slavery is. Slaves don't get paid and it isn't voluntary. H1B are paid and is entirely voluntary. The reason foreigners accept and compete for the positions is because the pay is better than the p

Not really, tsm is delaying to find enough workers for their plant. They are still building it in AZ. Foxconn is changing a $40b investment into a $672m investment and selling the properties they had. Related but not the same thing at al

Yeah, it is a crazy markup and it's why they were able to increase their ARR by 58% this last year. I think the more frustrating thing is lack of serious competition in the space to keep them from jacking up the prices down so much.

Exactly, never happens. It's a threat parents and teachers tell school children to try to spook them from pirating but it isn't financially worth it for an author or publishing company to try to sue an individual over some books

Linus Torvalds uses Fedora for his personal dev environment which alone speaks volumes about it. I tend to bounce around and mix up my personal dev machine distro every few months but have enjoyed Fedora when I've used it. Arch is gr

I don't think that's true. The majority of reddit users actually use reddit via third party apps and all those users will be impacted by reddit effectively shutting down all those apps. Anecdotally, I have a bunch of different f

Failure in the mobile assembly line is what the article mentions but is kind of irrelevant if you're still just selling pizzas to people. No one really cares about buying pizza from this unknown company so they have no product market

Yeah, also doesn't mention the super low 3.4% unemployment rate the US still has. Most of the people being laid off are being re-hired within a very short timeframe. The Fed has wanted unemployment back up to ~6% for over a year and
